Ruthie's Seaside Cabanas & Live Entomology Exhibit

A long hard day of traveling from Flores, Guatemala to Dangriga, Belize yesterday that was not without it's troubling moments. We checked into Ruthie's Seaside Cabanas, steps from the Caribbean sea (private bathroom + cable TV!). We watched about four hours of TV and laid down to go to sleep. Annie got up to use the bathroom, flipped on the light, and lo and behold, our room had come alive!! Giant cockroaches, hundreds of tiny ants, and even a couple of bedbugs. We packed all our stuff tightly away between squeals, set up the tent-like mosquito net (our most favoritest thing that we brought) and stared at the ceiling until dawn. Ruthie's was more than twice the cost of any place we have stayed so far.
